One of my project ideas will be to get [http://www.armedslack.org/ ArmedSlack] running on the RPi. I would think that the Debian kernel and modules, with ArmedSlack userspace, could be hacked together to work, but that's only an uneducated guess. ArmedSlack currently has three installer images, for the three supported platforms; I eagerly await the fourth, Raspberry Pi.

Status update 2012-05-02, late evening: I have a Slackware ARM setup that crashes in /etc/rc.d/rc.S. But at least that means /sbin/init is running from the flash card. Yay!
